The Indefinite Article
The indefinite article (English “a / an”) is ένας / μία / ένα for masculine / feminine / neuter. Like the definite article it agrees in gender and case, but it has no plural - “some teachers” is just the bare plural noun, not an article.
The rule
The indefinite article (“a / an”) is ένας / μία / ένα (masculine / feminine / neuter). It agrees in gender and case but has no plural - “some teachers” is simply the bare plural noun. Only the masculine changes for the accusative (ένας → έναν); the feminine μία and neuter ένα keep one form for nominative and accusative alike.
